Cheerful as always. My commute now costs $6.00 per day with a small sedan.

My wife says: “Remember when we used to eat meat?”

Refresh my memory: Back in the ’04 election, didn’t Kerry get lambasted in the press and by Bush and all his little Bushites for predicting that, unless we make major changes, oil will hit $100 a barrel? So why do the people who get it right end up being ignored, and the ones who get it wrong (again, and again, and again, and . . .) get elected? Apparently, Americans do not want truth. We want to be told that everything is grand, and to ignore the guy making sense.

The American way of life, while it may not be negotiable according to our drooling VP, is also not sustainable nor scalable. Nor will technology save us. It also is not scalable. It simply cannot replace oil on a massive enough scale to keep on doing what we are doing.
